Hi I'm not really new but I did just kinda start a YouTube channel that I really need ideas and stuff for. It's called vanpunk so please check it out, and remember I'm learning everything as I go along so suggestions are awesome but I live in a parking lot and there's not a lot of content there...

Y'all sound like you'd be fun to travel a bit with, I'm way over in Florida but if you ever hit the east coast hmu!

that spot looks legit! lots of rewarding little projects to fill the day with, plus being outfar enough to not worry constantly about being discovered is worth whateveer you gotta put into it. pups looked really happy so that's always good, have they barked at anything in the night or are the...

Anyone at fest? I'm in the brown roller derby t shirt, come say hi if you are

Important thing to remember, agm batteries are heavy as FUUUCCKKK. I'm running 3 200ah off 4 200 watt panels right now and just had to replace my wheel bearing and drive axle in the rear where the batteries are stored. There are options with portable panels and inverter/battery combo deals that...

at the end of the day we're all just people. perfectly stated i feel. we all feel alone, we all feel isolated. even those who on the surface maintain an image of being above all that. every one of us has laid there at night, alone, wondering if we'll ever feel like we make sense to somebody else

is it necessary to conform to fit back into society though these days? i seem to see a lot more comrades when i am in public compared to when i was growing up. whether it be an employee at the grocery store with blue dreads or the park ranger with a bad religion tattoo, it seems that independent...

I dont know what it was exactly but something about your post fucking got to me. Could be the beam and ginger ales I just downed because bartenders mistake but I think the concept of super awesome people and moments in time being so fleeting, always temporary changes nothing in it's wake, fuck...

Like I said in the super long title I haven't written anything, like tried to write about something important to me, in a long time. So please if you could read this and critique or tell me it was interesting but, or even if you just thought it was good, would you read a book like this? Does it...

I have been seeking community, I think most of my life.I consider myself punk, even though most of the music I listen to is from a range of other genres. The question authority, diy, anti control and pro equality root values in punk has always held true but even there there's dissonance.I wonder...

We've got Gainesville which is fixing to have the fest, rainbow folks in February in Ocala national forest(I hope they still come this year, there was a burn a couple years back that toasted the normal grounds) and a bunch of nature from beaches to forests to, well that's pretty much it but it's...

I can likely help with the under the table, I will warn you that Florida is a black hole and visiting once may curse you to a lifetime of accidentally ending up back in the swamp. But some of us are proud to be the Florida man of myth and legend.

Truth

That is very cool, is that your handiwork? I would like to practice with something like that, that would be different movements than im used to and that's always exciting.

If you're interested in Florida at all I can give you a pretty decent tour😎

Some people crave stability and safety, some crave adventure and danger. Some of us are broken enough to not know how to relate to someone who watches TV, some of us only know the sound of wind through pine trees miles from traffic and artificial light. Whatever it is I'm glad we can find...

I've got 2 harbor freight hunting knives, a machete that slides into my guitar case perfect, and recently filled a hand pump spray bottle with a capsaicin, wintergreen rubbing alcohol, and cooking oil mixture that I know burns nicely from one drop I got on my side while pouring it. Problem is it...

Love the positivity, keep that spirit no matter what the road throws at you and you'll be ok.

Looking for a buddy of mine, Moses, he went back up north after rainbow a couple years ago an I lost touch with him but if anyone knows him, the guy who played guitars with him in the yard one afternoon by the racetrack gas station by i75 is looking for him.

I get disability and I try to fix my own stuff when that happens. You get good at repairs at least on that vehicle after you've been driving a while. Gas sucks, right now I'm planning to go to Nashville for a couple weeks and getting back that would be most of my disability so it's all about...

Just posting some pics, I guess if anyone is wondering how good can the view be if you're tied to a van with no lift or 4x4 and can't get crazy in the wilderness. It's still worth it, always worth it, those moments when it's just you and the world, that's better than religion every time.

There's a whole world out there and it can be really hard to see from any hometown. You give off a cool vibe, I think you've got a good mentality for a life of adventure so cheers and hope our paths cross down the road.

I'm down by Gainesville Ocala area but I can make that trip in a week or two if cool. I used to live in South Jax but I didn't go out much when I was there. Is it good up there for boondocking and camping?

Just wondering if anyone is in central or North Florida and could hang for a couple days. I'm going a little crazy not having hung out with any like minded people in what feels like ages

I've got a mobile charging solar setup that can charge people's phones and a gazebo style tarp setup and basic camping shit, is there a campsite I could post up in and trade resources for campground or something like that? I run 600 watts into 3 batteries and 2000w inverter so during the day I...

Hey Memphis, fellow Florida escapee here. Those pics look awesome, that river site and the doggos look happy and adorable. I recently decided against following thru to the west coast and am stuck in Vegas right now (legal weed, could be worse) but I'm headed to Nashville when gas prices...

What's your YouTube?

Still in Vegas, where you at?

Are you still in Vegas? I'm camping up in the mountains but if yall are down to meet up and exchange van stories that would be fun.

So fabric is a real interesting option, I've seen flexible panels but would be interested in the science behind that. It's advancing so quickly now you know? Do you need ventilation under the panel or can it be directly mounted flush to the roof? If you have a pic that would be cool. I'll show...

I'm very interested in helping in any way I can. I'll be getting back on the road this week after a bad accident and family medical stuff and the accident left me somewhat disabled but I'm good at sewing, was a cook for 20 years, can build mad furniture out of milk crates and a hacksaw blade and...

I'm headed that way myself around February after stopping in Vegas to see friends. I just did an 800 watt solar setup with charge controller and 2000w inverter that's working great. Ugly as hell but I'd be glad to help if I run into you. My setup is a bit rough but it works and with four panels...

Hey just curious whereabouts in Florida you are (don't have to be specific of course)? I'm in Ocala right now living the vanpunk life but I will be heading out traveling again within a year (currently looking out for my dad who has advanced dementia and hope he sticks around a while but once...

Have you read Days of War, Nights of Love?

Thank you for the feedback, i try to keep some positivity so i don't sound like I'm just complaining all the time. Thank you for picking up on that😊

did you make it to Jax? My nihilist friend jLaw lives there. Hmu

trust me, it can be. I grew up here and am currently stuck here for another six months before i can get back to Vegas and then slab city. Fuck Florida, Panama city used to be cool don't know if it still is. Gainesville sold out, Orlando is tolerable but unforgiving, Ocala is garbage cop wise...

Last one i promise, just curious as to your opinion. I don't really have any friends where I'm staying so input, positive or negative, is sincerely appreciated. Can't grow if i don't get feedback

Another original

I do appreciate the input, the idea of marrying the two separate things may hold some value since i did play around with a few rhythms before settling on my staple reggae riff. Originally it had a choppier almost leftover crack style but im not good enough to play and sing the riff i had in...

used to run with a kid named "might've been" cause he "might/ve been" your kid so you shouldn't judge him for being crusty. I was called porkchop for years then got the zenchop nickname in rehab cause i was all into the Tao and meditating and stuff.

Hope this is ok to post here, just looking for feedback good or bad please

Where you at?

honeslty the ocala forest one is the only one i know about, i think maybe check redditt for other gatherings. i haven't been on there in years but there's a thread for everything

Should be starting up, already travelers in town, holding camp is silver springs

Couple of us got a temporary squat on hwy 27 by the interstate. Hang out at the racetrack store and we'll see you. Should be catching a ride in a week out to the forest.
